It's a stepped system to .5 micrometer equivalent. The four filters run in series 
(10ppm, 5ppm, 1ppm, VOC), each element is intended to be a "whole house"
 unit independently. With the redundancy in to the last two 
stages this series delivers filtration equivalent to a single unit .5mic filter. 

This is the info from the designer of the system that I simply replicated. 

Long and short being, this is a solution to ensuring a long term solution to the preference for water that is free from local mineral levels, to which there has been concern expressed. Instead of needing to collect hundreds of gallons of water each year, with all the commensurate waste and weight, this would provide the same quality of drinking water in an effectively unlimited volume. 

Filters do need to be changed periodically and I'm including "maintenance" instructions with the set. I did notice one error in my initial information that I sent to Her Excellency Kari. I listed the system rated for 20,000 liters. Actually, it's 15-20,000 gallons per stage (or three months). Given the expected sediment volumes, it may be necessary to replace the first stage during Pennsic so that the remainder of filters can correctly function ($10). Replacement of all filters at one time might cost around $75. That certainly does make for a decrease all around.

It's also coming in a pretty box.
